In a shocking new low, the self-proclaimed custodian of backward classes, BSP supremo Mayawati has raised apprehensions about PM Modi’s caste origins, saying that he belongs to a fake backward community. Mayawati was in SP chief Mulayam Singh’s constituency Mainpuri to address a joint rally with SP supremo.
Mayawati in Mainpuri: Isme koi sandeh nahi hai ki inhone (Mulayam) SP ke banner ke tale UP mein sabhi samaj ke logon ko apni party mein joda hai. Ye PM Modi ki tarah nakli veh farzi pichde varg ke nahi hain, Mulayam ji asli hain. janam-jaat pichde varg ke hain. pic.twitter.com/6bv3DDesdY

While hailing SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav for bringing people of all classes under his party, Mayawati asserted that Mulayam Singh by birth truly belongs to the backward community, unlike PM Modi who belongs to a “fake” backward community.
Mayawati in Mainpuri: Desh veh aam jan-hith mein aur party ke movement ke hith mein bhi, kabhi-kabhi humen kathin faisle lene padte hain jisko aage rakh kar hi humne desh ke vartmann haalaton ke chalte hue, UP mein SP ke sath gathbandhan kar ke chunaav ladne ka faisla kiya hai. https://t.co/UfPj6ImnNF

In an attempt to defend her decision to join hands with the arch-rivals Samajwadi Party, Mayawati said that even after the Guesthouse incident the party went ahead to stitch an alliance with SP in UP because it values public interest and for the greater good of the countrymen and the prevailing situation in the country, it deemed it appropriate to take a ‘hard’ decision of aligning with the Samajwadi party in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections.
Sensing an imminent defeat at the hands of an aggressive BJP and for fear of being pushed to irrelevance, parties with seemingly opposing ideologies and bitter past, SP and BSP came into an opportunistic alliance to jointly battle out the Modi juggernaut and somehow secure their political existence in the state.
